Anterograde and retrograde amnesia following bitemporal infarction. 1994

A Schnider, and M Regard, and T Landis
Department of Neurology, University Hospital, Zürich, Switzerland.

A patient suffered very severe anterograde and retrograde amnesia following infarction of both medial temporal lobes (hippocampus and adjacent cortex) and the left inferior temporo-occipital area. The temporal stem and the amygdala were intact; these structures do not appear to be critical for new learning in humans. Extension of the left-sided infarct into the inferior temporo-occipital lobe, an area critically involved in visual processing, appears to be responsible for our patient's loss of remote memories.
